Chapter 304 - 299: The Delayed Message
In the past, when refining the Heavenly Immortal Pill was hindered by the lack of rare alchemy materials, Leon thought about venturing out to hunt some powerful monsters. However, without knowing where such monsters were, he had to abandon the idea.
Leon now faced a similar situation. He wanted to explore and encounter strong monsters to expand his knowledge; otherwise, the 72 Transformations would remain unusable since transformation required firsthand experience. Yet, he had no idea where such monsters might be active.
With no viable options, Leon had to temporarily suppress his impulse. Besides, he had just established his kingdom, and as a King, it was not appropriate to go on an extended journey at this moment. Even indulging in one’s whims needed restraint and proper timing.
Speaking of kingdom-building, he had kept himself busy for half a year. It wouldn’t hurt to take some time off, rest, and enjoy life for a while since no external enemies were pressuring him into constantly improving his strength.
First, he planned to get a good night’s sleep, then feast, and finally relax in a lava bath... And so a week went by just like that.
For Leon, life as a King after nation-building wasn’t much different from his previous lifestyle.
In fact, the political structure he established had streamlined responsibilities and minimized bureaucratic conflicts, drawing in additional manpower. For instance, he had coerced the Brass Dragon to relocate to Watchtower Port as Engineering Minister and assigned several well-trained Tiefling maids to governmental posts there. Compared to before, Leon’s workload had actually reduced.
Initially, Leon planned to reward Anglistra with the Scroll Book—the one looted from Slankus’s Treasure Vault detailing the secrets of the Element Master—after she achieved some notable merit.
But finding an appropriate opportunity proved elusive, and to prevent delays in future alchemical endeavors, he had to give it away under a random pretext.
